I've written my first IF/ELSE rule and one of the IF conditions is only true between sunset and sunrise. Is there an easy way to test my rule while the sun is up?
A quick search didn't help me so apologies if this has been covered a bunch.
Thanks!

If you just want to test the actions inside the IF THEN
, I would simply disable all other rule actions (check the box for each line in the "X"/disable column in the actions table), then use "Run Rule Actions" or a real trigger, whatever works best for your particular rule, to test.
You could also change your hub time and hope NTP doesn't re-sync during your testing, I guess, or change your location or time zone to somewhere where the criteria are met, but that seems more complicated.
Sorry for the late reply and thanks for the help. I assumed disabling part of the rule would break it but it worked out fine.
Eventually, I figured out I could reverse my condition with the NOT function and that worked too.
Thanks again.
